3.2mm or 2.3mm eternity band?

[chictomato]

Hi there! I am currently wearing both Platinum WB and 18k Wg ER together. I love to add more blings to my current set. I am looking at stack another eternity band below my WB. Would you suggest a 2.3mm or 3.2mm thick eternity band? My current WB and ER are approx 3.4mm each. TIA!

Tough call...(I love your set by the way!) My first instinct would be for you to get the 3mm, bc it would coordinate well with the width of your current 2 rings. Since your ering is knife edge, however, does it appear to be thinner than it actually is? In that case, you may want to go with the 2 mm. This may be a situation where you really need to try them on. Is that possible?

Tks for the reply EHR2009, yourt avatar pict is inspirational

I am not sure if to consider the ering knife edge shank, as it just tapered a little in the centre. I am not able to try as it''s a online purchase..how about a 6-7 shared prong (half band) approx 2.5mm per diamond? Do you think it looks better with a full round channel or half round prong set? I will probably go for the 3mm too as it will be aout the same thickness as the other 2. I think that the slightly bigger diamonds should add more blings tooTIA!

Hey chictomato! I was looking up old posts of your halo (which is beautiful btw). The side profile looked as if it has a wide gallery. How do you get your platinum band to sit flush? Is it notched? I also have a halo with a wide gallery, and no band sits flush. Please show a pic of the side profile! Thx!

Hi eyue tks! It does not sit flush there is a tiny gap if you see it real close the plat band kinda ''slip'' under the basket of my ering. You have to play with the sizing of both ring, I think, if you know what I meant let me try to see if I can capture it on my camera for you.

I think they both have their pros! If you do the channel set, you could also wear it next to your ering if you ever wanted to go without the plain band, but you probably wouldn''t be able to wear the prong set directly next to your ering. The prong set wi11 increase the diamond-to-metal ratio (as less metal shows on the setting), but the channel set might add the look of a little more metal (not necessarily a bad thing, just personal preference). In my avatar pic, the top band is a 3mm channel set, and the bottom band is a 2mm prong set. It may help you decide if you can determine whether you like the "top half" or the "bottom half" of my set better, if that makes sense? I think you can''t go wrong either way. I can''t wait to see the finished product!

I was debating similar things so I went to tiffany''s where they have high quality eternities in a lot of styles and tried them on. It made up my mind pretty fast! I suggest you try that too!
